Q&A - Hekate

Hey all!

The last Q&A with this set of questions goes to Hekate! I'm hoping that this slot will be used for a different sort of bonus content related to the editing process next month, but I can't promise that, yet. For now, please enjoy some insight into the Goddess of Magic. :)

-----------------------

1. What is your greatest desire?

To be the kind of person I can be proud of. Vague and without a definitive point of achievement, I know, but you didn’t ask for a well-structured goal, just a desire.

2. Who was the most important person in your formative years?

My mother, I suppose. In all sincerity, I barely remember my ‘formative years’ most of the time, and I consider this a good thing.

3. What would you tell the younger version of yourself, if you could talk to her now?

Nothing, I don’t think. She has everything she needs, and I don’t think there is anything anyone could merely say that would alleviate her suffering, or make anything better.

4. What sorts of people are you most easily drawn to?

I admit I have a fondness for those with curiosity, energy, and… let’s say a certain brightness.

5. How would you say you react to stress?

By doing something about whatever is causing me stress. The worst kind, then, is obviously the sort that doesn’t admit of that solution, and I have encountered that from time to time. In those cases, I suppose I eat. And talk. And fret, in my own way.

6. Of those in your inner circle, who do you feel closest to?

I think the kinds of closeness I feel with them are different enough that a comparison by quantity doesn’t really make sense. They’re just alternate ways of being close.

7. Of those in your inner circle, who do you find yourself clashing with most often?

A more straightforward question. I suppose I occasionally clash with Charon, and Hades’s tendency towards self-deprecation does rankle me a little at times as well. But I wouldn’t say I genuinely fight with anyone, I don’t think. At least, not at all often.

8. Do you have any daily rituals or routines?

I’m not one for strict routines as such, but I suppose there are a number of things I do daily, or close enough to it. Reading, for example. Brushing my teeth, bathing, that sort of thing. Nothing terribly unusual, I don’t think.

9. Of the four humors, which one or two would you say are most dominant in your personality?

Oh, I think I show all of them at different times. Perhaps it’s best to say my personality is quite balanced. I suppose if I had to choose one, I’d say I’m fairly phlegmatic.

10. What part of your personality gets you into the most trouble?

The curiosity, naturally.
